The Malletech Orchestra Series OR42R Hard Rattan Xylo/Bell Mallets are a medium weight mallet that is clean, bright and full at all dynamic levels. Model OR42 will sound slightly darker than model ORJ9 at low dynamic levels due to its higher mass, which produces greater fundamental response. Excellent for synthetic xylophone.

The four models in the Orchestra Series are constructed of the materials and weights selected by professional players as having the most practical application to the major orchestral parts of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
